Mitch, Thanks, I was kind of thinking I'd have to do something like that....
Is there a way to open the file and go straight to the end to check for the trailer record?

If the file is being actively written to, depending on the methods used in BWS, BWS will likely not be able to do anything with the file until the file lock is cleared out. Best way to determine file completeness is to ensure the file contains a trailer record of some sort. If the trailer record isn't there, then the file was truncated.

To All, I have a customer concerned that a file might not be finished building when the BWS goes to pick it up. Here's the scenario: A Handheld device is entering stock items/quantities and creates a file. (Don't know the exact scenario/timing of how file gets to the folder) The BWS script is going to be running and checking for this file to exist. The file will then be uploaded into the Meditech MM Floors Inventory. So the question is, can BWS tell if a file is done building?
